Rhode Island Resources


Rhode Island offers Medicaid, medciare and medi-cal programs to those residents of the state. They know that there are many that suffer from addiction. With a growing opioid addiction throughout the state and in the entire nation, they are working at combatting the issue.

Rhode Island was awarded $6.5 million to fight against the opioid addiction that claims so many lives every year. With this new bill, they are providing more treatment centers, doing more research on what works and provides permanent results, while also increasing the ability to get medications that work to fight against the addictions. The money is backed by the government and they are hoping it increases the resources available to everyone.

Resources are listed below that provide ways for residents of Rhode Island to get the necessary addiction help that they need when they are not a part of a private insurance carrier, and when they have Medicaid, medicare or medi-cal programs.
